The guide horns aren't in the correect position, but it's not very noticeable. They're still far better than the kit tracks.

Thanks Frenchy very useful.
I just picked up the Eduard detail set at the IPMS show recently in Dublin. I'm trying to get some images of the vehicle in action. Wanted some good details of the tool storage racks, on the turret side and general arrangements of other storage on the vehicle.
